After seeing the results of Northfork bullets on this forum I gave Mike a call and asked if he made any 8mm bullets. He said no and I was only the 3rd person to ever ask for them. Who out there would buy a Northfork 8mm bullet that was in the 190-200 grain weight? My vote is in I sure would like to try them.

I would be interested in a 220 grain.

Count me in.

185-195 gr would be about perfect.

I would give them a try.

I would buy some in 200 gr and 220 gr weights. - Dan

From the number of replies I maybe see what Mike is talking about. There doesn't seem to be very much interest in the 8mm. I think this would be the perfect bullet for my rifle. Come on people we need enough that it could be profitable to make them.

Hey Redside,

I would like a 200-220 gr. from North Fork!

Good luck,

I was one of the people who inquired and was told they had no plans for 8mm. I too would buy 200 and 220 gr. Karl

Looks like we are up to seven of us. I don't think that would be enough to get Mike to tool up. I can always hope with Remington bringing out the 8mm Mauser that maybe more people might want some of these bullets.

I'd try 'em. 200 grains would be fine.

Hornady has a new 195g bullet out. Why not give them a try? I am going today, to pick up a box I ordered a month ago. I will post results.

Well I got the 195g Hornady's and tryed them out on paper. It was cold and a 20 mph wind was blowing, but I went out anyway. I tried 4 loads, 1 with Varget and 3 with IMR4064.
IMR4064 FPS Group size
46g 2376-2398 3.5"
47 2467-2519 4"
48 2507-2548 2"
VARGET
47.3 2396-2483 3"
The 48g load of 4064 is 1g over Hornady max, but was showing no sign preasure. I am giving up for now, we are still hunting with muzzleloaders and rifle season starts next week. I am going to use the Hornady 170g rn this season. It shoots 1.5" groups and travels at 2630fps. I am planing on moose hunting next year, so the 195's will get used then.

I just finished my fall hunting season yesterday shooting a cow elk from 176 yards using the new Hornady 195 grain bullet out of my 3200 Hawk. The cow was exactly broadside, the bullet entered just behind the front shoulder and exited high off the back (I was shooting up hill) no recovered bullet. Muzzle velocity for the 195 was 2900 fps. I could probably get more FPS but it shoots best at this speed.

I'd love to see a 210gr, and I don't care who makes it.
